Why are you not posting the patches?

They were already posted, and reviewed, and all maintainers were CC'ed,
including you, why do you want me to spam the mailing list over and
over again with the same patches ?  This is not how genuine pull
requests are supposed to work.

You reposting measly 5 patches is hardly spamming. I have scripts which
check if the contents of the PR match the posting, which obviously
can't follow random links from the email.

I'm not comfortable with blindly pulling patches from vendor trees.

That's not the point, sometimes it is less or much more than 5.
For mlx5-next (Shared branch between RDMA and netdev), I would like to
submit standard clean PRs like all other maintainers.

The script is great to validate pseudo-PRs (netdev only) where we post
patches for the first time in the PR.

but this is different, this is a true clean PR where all patches
already posted and reviewed. the tree is already written genuinely in
ink!

Good to know and very disappointing, is there anything i could do to
make you better trust my mlx5-next PRs ? other than RE-posting ?

Again I don't see any point of RE-posting the patches together with a
clean PR, redundant and unnecessary and against all standards, it just
cancels the whole process and duplicates my work, and will confuse
other maintainers who might have already pulled part or all of the
patches in the branch.
